As a multi-brand banking group with an international profile we value the combination of an informed global focus in matters relating to risk management and governance, and very professional personal service.

“Andrea Bonime-Blanc brings a brand and fresh new thinking and advisory approach to the much debated issue of “corporate responsibility”. Having learnt it the hard way as a senior executive at several global companies for two decades, she has come to a quintessential point helping other companies do it. We are talking about a holistic and strategic approach to “corporate responsibility, risk & reputation”, not just “corporate social responsibility” which in isolation is often a hide-all blanket for corporate non-responsibility”.
